(In Lunacy2009) We know that no part of the robot should pass the Robot-Perimeter but how about Game-Pieces (MoonRocks, for example)? If our Robot holds them in some way - can they be out side the maximum height/width/depth of the robot or outside its perimeter (partly or fully)?

thanks ahead :]

As long as your robot stays within the perimeter it should be fine since moon rocks are not considered part of your robot.

GAME PIECES are not considered part of the ROBOT. As such, they are not limited by the dimension restrictions in Rule <R11>.

And I was sure it had been discussed on CD before, but I can't find a thread by searching.
